About Medlock Gardens Senior Living

About Medlock Gardens… Located in the Atlanta suburb of Decatur, Medlock Gardens is the “Bed and Breakfast” of Senior Living. With its quaint and cozy setting, Medlock Gardens features a three level floor plan with apartments on the first two levels, and a terrace level downstairs ideal for resident activities, physical therapy/home health services, exercise classes, and much more. Come and enjoy the sunroom, the outside patios and porches. The back of the property includes a nice wooded area walking trail ideal for nature strolls and bird watching. Our home-like setting provides a great atmosphere for promoting independence and individuality. We welcome short term respite as well as long-term stays. Our residents receive assistance as needed with medication management, bathing, dressing, toileting, ambulation, and activity and socialization based on their individual needs and preferences. Our Chef provides nutritious and wonderful meals in our restaurant style dining room. Tray service to the Resident’s apartments may be arranged upon request. Our suites are spacious and many have a private patio or balcony and tall ceilings. Apartments have a kitchenette, ample closets, and private full bathrooms. Weekly housekeeping and personal laundry services are done by the staff for all residents. Our Activities Department has an active calendar of daily events and many opportunities for residents to go out to lunch, to museums, movies, as well as many entertainment venues here at the community for the residents. We have a visiting dentist as well as a podiatrist, and many home health services for the convenience of our residents and families. The care levels are determined based on the assessment of the potential resident by their primary physician as well as our own in-house nurse; calculated on the time required by the resident care staff for hands-on support to the resident with their activities of daily living. Care Level 1 is Included in Rent--Medication Management! The community van and offers transportation to our residents for medical appointments as well as shopping and other activity events.

Our experience

The staff was nice but many seemed untrained. Communication was poor. The room size was okay. The place was clean. I feel like minimum effort was given to help my mom maintain her status/ level of needed care.

Family member review

My family member has lived in several facilities and without a doubt Medlock Gardens has the best staff I have ever encountered at a facility. From the director all the way to the kitchen staff, they are amazing. They are a breath of fresh air in a business that doesn’t show as much compassion as they should. They are compassionate and loving to my father. This is the first facility that my father has lived in where he is happy and well taken care of. The staff is what makes Medlock Gardens special. My father came

Medlock Gardens Experience

My overall experience with Medlock Assistant Living

I like the quality of care. The staff works together for the best outcome for the client's desired level of care. Yes I do recommend them for senior assistant living care. Even though my sister needed additional care, which is memory care, the staff helped me find the right place for her. The referral given to me worked out well. I appreciate their help.
